LAMOTH welcomed middle school students from Gompers Preparatory Academy for a customized tour of the Museum and to listen to Holocaust Survivor Michele Rodri speak about her experiences as a hidden child during the Holocaust. After her talk, Michele wrote inspiring notes for the students in their notebooks.

Elisabeth was almost nineteen years old when Nazi Germany invaded her native Kecskemet, Hungary. Shortly after confining the city's Jews into a ghetto, the Nazi authorities sent them to Auschwitz-Birkenau. This was the last time Elisabeth saw her parents and younger brother. She spent the rest of the war in labor camps around Germany. After liberation, she spent several years in Sweden where she worked as a school teacher. She eventually settled in Los Angeles with her family. Her artistic soul and creative gifts have played a very important role in her postwar life, and two of her paintings are on display at LAMOTH.
